Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are pleased to announce the official opening of the 2022-2023 bus registration process. We have 3 important messages to highlight here:
THE BUS REGISTRATION PROCESS WILL BE OPEN FROM NOW ON UNTIL JUNE 30TH. IT WILL BE CLOSED FROM JULY 1, 2022 UNTIL EARLY AUGUST AND RE-OPEN ON APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 8TH.
- Bus registration and payment must be done via the PowerSchool Parent Portal for students attending Shrewsbury Public Schools and via the Googleform for students attending Assabet Valley Reg. Technical High School and all private schools. There is no “processing charge/convenience fee” for online payment of the bus fee and both credit cards and debit cards are accepted.
- All of the regulations and rules pertaining to bus ridership eligibility and the requirement to pay a fee are posted on our website under the Transportation link. Please read them carefully and access the FAQ if you have questions.
- If your child has a negative food service account balance or owes a fee for some other additional service, then you will be blocked from bus registration until all overdue payments are made.
